This is a vintage scientific illustration depicting various views of a bat, likely a vampire bat, as indicated by the title 'Vampyrus' and the text 'Chiroptera. Fledertiere' (bats in German). The illustration is a detailed engraving, showcasing the bat's anatomy from multiple angles. At the top, there are three large depictions of the bat with its wings fully spread, showing the intricate vein patterns. Below these, the image is filled with numerous headshots and close-ups of the bat's face, each numbered from 1 to 15. These headshots showcase different perspectives, including front views, side profiles, and detailed close-ups of the mouth, nose, and ears. The illustrations emphasize the bat's sharp teeth, pointed ears, and distinctive facial features. The style is highly detailed and precise, typical of scientific illustrations from the late 19th or early 20th century. The image is monochromatic, with fine lines and shading used to create depth and texture. The text 'Haackel, Kunstformen der Natur. Tafel 67' appears at the top, indicating the source of the illustration. The overall impression is one of scientific accuracy and artistic skill.
